Hey guys (and gals). Has anyone ever heard of cheropbobia before? Most haven't. It's basically the fear of happiness. I feel like I'm cherophobic sometimes like when something goes good I always feel like something bads just around the corner. Or even when I'm having a good time I feel wrong and it's weird but that's how I get. I've grown familiar to my depression and being happy is still foreign to me if that makes any sense. Any words of wisdom you can share?

      i feel the same. for a split second, i’ll feel happy, and even kind of “forget” about my mental illness. then, the panic sets in because i’m so scared that i’ll get better and something will trigger me so bad that i go back to the beginning. it’s a huge cycle.
